Terrorist Training Camp

For Cayden's 7th birthday, his mom thought it would be a great idea to arm him with a paintball gun. I guess its the modern day version of "Christmas Story", where Ralphie Parker wants only one thing for Christmas: "an official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock, and this thing which tells time."
In 2009, we're putting a high powered device that, using compressed C02 cylinders, chucks small, but hard, balls of paint at anything a 7 year old might decide to point it at. Mom, what were you thinking? Well at least it doesn't have a thing that tells time.

Anyway, we planned a nice Labor Day BBQ in the back yard, but between the people that didn't show up, and the people that left early, we found ourselves with not much to do by about 6:00 pm.

So we decided to go out into the yard and 'chuck' some paintballs.

I'll let the pictures do the talking.

People were scared.

Bad guys (and everyone else) BEWARE!
